One of the best pop punk albums I've heard in a long time! Ever since they came out with The Dream Is Over, I felt that PUP had the potential to put out something really great. On Morbid Stuff, they definitely live up to that potential. From the energetic riff on "Kids" to the catchy chorus on "Sibling Rivalry," this album is full of polished, well written songs. PUP has definitely grown as a band, as can be noted by the song structure of "Scorpion Hill," which I thoroughly enjoy. In addition, Stefan Babcock's vocals are really on point and add that extra bit of authenticity to each track.

I was surprised when I saw the current rating on this site - it seems way too low to me. I see this as PUP's best album as of yet, and with each listen I find more and more to like about it. Definitely will end up being one of my favorite albums of the year. If you are a fan of the genre, Morbid Stuff is an essential listen. Looking forward to what they put out next!

In 2016, PUP had the consecration with their second album "The Dream Is Over". The Toronto quartet has established itself on the pop-punk scene with their formidable compositions. Three years have passed and here they are back with their long-awaited successor named "Morbid Stuff". Of course, the general atmosphere is far from being bad, on the contrary. "Morbid Stuff" will want to pogote for a long time especially listening to "See You At The Funeral", "Closure" or "Sibling Rivalry". PUP was expected after three years of radio silence and he meets expectations with "Morbid Stuff". Darker and more mature than its predecessors, the Toronto band never loses inspiration and promises memorable live performance. This is one of the best pop punk album of the decade.

8/10

Best track: "Free At Last"

I really just don't like pop punk, no matter how hard I try to. I'll admit, tho, this is some of the better pop punk I've heard in a minute

Pup constantly seems to consider writing interesting music, but backs off any interesting ideas into a generic mush of mediocrity. If they ever decided to release a Home, Like Noplace Is There, an Albatross, a TDAG, one of those really great genre defining and defying emo or emo pop albums, I wouldn't be surprised, but up until this point, they seem totally content settling for forgettable, lowest common denominator sadboi tunes.
